San Diego, CA — The ZRO0915C2LF from Z-Communications is an RoHS compliant coaxial resonator based VCO in the UHF-band that operates from 902- to 928-MHz with a linear tuning voltage range of 0 to 11 Vdc. The VCO delivers a typical phase noise of -128 dBc/Hz at 10 KHz offset and a typical tuning sensitivity of 3 MHz/V.
The VCO is designed to deliver a constant typical output power of 5 dBm at 10 Vdc supply while drawing 23 mA (typical) over the temperature range of -40 to 85 degrees Celsius. The ZRO0915C2LF has a typical phase noise value of -100 dBc/Hz at 1 KHz offset and -148 dBc/Hz at 100 KHz offset. This VCO features typical 2nd harmonic suppression of -35 dBc and comes in the company's newly developed ZMX-14-SM package, measuring 19.05- x 19.05- x 5.59-mm (0.75 x 0.75 x 0.22 inches). It is available in tape and reel packaging for production requirements and is also ideal for automated surface mount assembly and reflow assembly process.
Typical applications include digital communication systems and RFID applications that require superior 2nd harmonic suppression and extremely low phase noise performance.
